have taken place. The earlier years of his
life were spent upon farm. where. with
out doubt, he acquired that immense breadth
of beam and phenomenal height of fore
head which constitute prominent features
of his physical organization. He is man
of much depth of character and weight, and
few who have met him have failed TO re-
mark that there is good deal to w. B.
Wheeler especially if he hap
pened to step on their feet. out
side of his charming personality and social
graceS. Mr.. Wheeler possesses numerous ac-
complshments. He is most fluent con-
verSationalist. and chews gum with an ease
and activity that few possess. For several
years he has had charge of the Omaha
ticket office III the Nicollet house block,
and has never been known to cut rate nor
to allow a scalper to scalp him. One of his
characteristics is his love for manly sports,
and he will probably go further and pay
more to see an event than any man in
the city. He did not attend the meeting
that was not held at Chestnut hall, in the
Eighth ward. Monday night, and his phe-
nomenal Sagacty and foresight have since
been subject of general remark.
